Hunger is winning – Upping Reta or Adding Tirz?

[pewex]

Hey everyone,

I’m heading into week 13 of my cut, and it's starting to get really tough now that I'm down to mid single BF%. Up until now, I've been cruising on 5 mg of Reta a week, with barely any food noise or cravings. But over the last 2 weeks, the hunger and cravings have gone through the roof. I "crashed" last weekend and this one too.

I have 6 weeks of dieting left and my calories are pretty low.
I know it’s mostly a mental game for these last 6 weeks, but I want to make it as manageable as possible. So I'm thinking about either bumping up my Reta dose to 7.5 or 10 mg weekly, or maybe adding another GLP (I’ve got Tirz on hand) into the mix.

What do you guys think? Would upping the Reta or adding Tirz be better? I know the whole "just tough it out" mindset is ideal, but I’m struggling and I’m ready to increase the dose or stack if it’ll help.

My only concern is that I’m not exactly "obese" or overweight. I’m sitting at around 190 lbs and about true 7% BF, almost stage-ready.

Any input is appreciated!

OK what's the max dose for Semaglutide that can be safely used? If I read it correctly, isn't .25mg once a week a standard dose and can it be safely increased?

0.25mg is a suggested starting dose. Not even the medium if I’m not wrong.

Honestly, I don't really know to what extent the 10 mg actually curbed my appetite, since I've never been this lean before and this will be my first bodybuilding competition.

I also don't know what impact it had on my blood markers or insulin sensitivity, because I didn't track them and don't have a baseline for comparison with my current diet and activity level.

I'll have a better idea soon, because I've stopped the 10 mg of Reta for the final 2 weeks to help fill out, based on the advice of a respected coach.

You shouldn’t take two GLPs together because they overlap in action, increase risks, and provide little to no extra therapeutic gain.
They also warn you not to take two GLP’s pretty promptly on the commercials I’m sure there’s reasons why.

Figured that...thanks for confirming!
